Add 2 tablespoons of cashew paste or melon seed paste along with the green paste for a richer, creamier, and milder gravy.
Substitute eggs with firm tofu or boiled potatoes. Use a plant-based yogurt (like coconut or soy) and replace the fresh cream with coconut cream or cashew cream.

Yes, you can prepare the gravy a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, simply heat the gravy and add freshly boiled eggs. The curry tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.
To maintain the vibrant green color, do not overcook the paste. Sauté it on medium-low heat just until the raw smell disappears and oil begins to separate. Adding a pinch of sugar can also help preserve the color. Bitterness can sometimes come from over-blending the herbs; blend just until smooth.
This curry pairs wonderfully with Indian breads like roti, naan, or paratha. It also goes very well with steamed basmati rice, jeera rice, or a simple pulao.
It is best not to freeze the curry with the eggs in it, as boiled eggs can become rubbery upon thawing. However, you can freeze the gravy itself in an airtight container for up to a month. Thaw, reheat, and add freshly boiled eggs before serving.
